Here are my two favourite nail looks you can rock on New Year’s Eve:
2012 is the year of the Dragon, so nails inspired by Dragon fire-
Step 1:
Apply two coats of red nail varnish in Shade 8, £1 to all your finger nails. Let this dry completely.
Step 2:
Starting from the tip of the nail using black liquid eyeliner in Shade 5, £1 apply random wiggly lines crossing over each other to represent flames. I used an image of Google of flames to inspire me here. Remember you need a steady hand. Let this design dry completely, then in-between your black wiggly line’s I applied a gold liquid eye liner in Shade 3, randomly between the black line’s which added dimension to the flame effect. Let the gold liquid liner dry completely.
Step 3:
To keep that beautiful design on all night long apply a clear top coat in Shade 17,£1. Let this dry completely.
Firework inspired nails:
Step 1:
I love these two colours at the moment together but this is totally up to you which colours you choose, just use your new year’s outfit as inspiration J . Apply Shade 3 (pink) & Shade 2 (black) both £1 each alternative to your fingernails. Let this dry completely.
Step 2:
To get the firework effects to the nails I used gold liquid eye liner in Shade 3, £1 and the black liquid eyeliner in Shade 5, £1 with a steady applying both colours to the corner of the nails in thin dotted lines. Let this dry completely.
Step 3:
To give it that extra glam to the nails I then added a little bit of gold glitter gel eyeliner in Shade 2, £1 on top of the firework dotted lines. let this dry completely then add a clear top coat in Shade 17, £1 to keep your design lasting longer.

Party Makeup is very different from the makeup we apply on a regular basis. As most of the parties are scheduled on evening, New Year’s Eve make up is more glittery and glamorous than the regular make up you are used to doing. So here are some pointers before you apply your New year’s eve make up:
· Go for a makeup that suits the mood of the party is it a nightclub, a house party or maybe some nice to eat with the family?
· Choose the makeup that complements your skin tone.
· If you are planning to do something new make sure you trial it first.
· Applying a highlighter such as single eye shadow in pearl shade 1, £1 on the tops of your cheekbones, brow bone and the inner corner of the eyes will make everything pop!
· Set your foundation with a pressed powder, £1 by evenly applying on the face and neck to make sure your make-up stays on all night long.
· Smokey eyes are my favourite look for any parties, and are always a good option for a glamorous look for New Year’s Eve. I recommend trio eye shadow set in Smoke Screen, £2.50.
· Choose your lipstick in accordance with your dress. However go for darker shades if it is a night party. I LOVE shade 1, £1, which I keep wearing at the moment!
